So I'm moving the radio in the glovebox and putting my touchscreen where the radio was for my carputer. I want to extend the radio harness without cutting into the oem harness. I thought I found a way but there is two extra plugs for my radio that I didn't realize.

Here's what I got...

Stock premium radio
Aftermarket radio harness to go into stock harness
and an OE harness from metra (this harness was gonna be soldered on the aftermarket one and then plugged into the stock radio)

Here's a pic of the two connections I'm missing...



Anyone know where to get a harness for the other two? I'll even take suggestions on another way to do this...

 

i think one is for the stock subwoofer and the other is for xm. i don't believe you need those two. maybe i'm wrong.

 

I was told most likely they were for the steering wheel controls and ipod and aux in the center console. Either way it's looking like I'm gonna have to cut and extend. Not to much of a big deal but you can't pull the harness out to solder it so that means working in the car with no a/c and/or getting rained on.

 

there's one long narrow plug for the ipod,

and the other one is for the steering wheel controls, the aux, and the vss input

there isn't any way to extend those wires that i know of without cutting them.

look at the electrical manuals and it'll tell you everything though.. what each wire does.. what plug.. etc..

 

okay go down to your local best buy and get metra part # 71-1761 its a reverse toyota harness that will plug into the back of the factory radio (standard harness) then get metra part # 70-1761 thats the stardard wire harness that clips into the factory harness next your going to need (the intsall bay) part # mc918-20 its a muti conductor wire called speed wire. its got 9 wires inside of it and its like 18 feet. if you get those parts you wouldnt have to cut ,solder or make a mess!!!! it would be nice and clean. the speed wire is 30 bucks and each of the harness is 20 bucks but worth it.. any questions pm me

 

Too late. I have the first to and used them but had to cut the other wires. It's pretty clean looking but took all day with finding the connectors and looking for my crimper's.

All is working from what I can tell. I had to stop cuz the rain started to come down too hard so the rest of the carputer wires will have to do little by little during the week.
